Yo La Tengo are funny people. You’ve seen them do videos with Bob & David; you’ve heard Ira’s witty stage banter.

Now it’s your turn. We’ve got 200 some Yo La Tengo Sampler CDs to give away. The disc includes seven YLT A-sides from 1993 through 1997: “From a Motel 6,” “Tom Courtenay,” “Autumn Sweater,” “Little Honda,” “Sugarcube,” “Big Day Coming,” and “Blue Line Swinger.”

It’s currently included with ‘And Then Nothing Turned Itself Inside-Out’ in stores, so this contest is especially for the folks who have already bought the album and feel like they’ve missed out on something.

It’s the perfect introduction to Yo La Tengo. If you’ve already got these songs, you can give it to your music-hungry friends. Or your mom. She’s guaranteed to like them. My mom does.

Here’s what you have to do to win: Write a Yo La Tengo joke. Knock knock, limerick, did you hear the one about the record company that misspelled the name of their best band?, whatever. We’d provide an example, but we’re not funny. The first 200 entries win the sampler and this sharp-looking Matador sticker.

If yours is extra funny, we might even put it on the site.
